Elmlea Whipped Squirty Cream Alternative

Elmlea is a highly recognized brand in the United Kingdom, famous for its range of cream alternatives made from a blend of buttermilk and vegetable oils. Originally launched to provide a longer-lasting and more stable version of fresh cream, Elmlea has become a staple for both cooking and desserts. The 'Squirty' whipped version shown here is a convenient aerosol product used as a topping for fruit, beverages, and cakes.

The brand was originally developed by Unilever in the United Kingdom as part of its dairy-related portfolio. However, in 2018, Unilever sold its global spreads business, which included brands like Elmlea, Flora, and Bertolli, to KKR. This led to the formation of Upfield, which now manages the brand globally. Today, Elmlea products sold in the UK and Ireland are frequently manufactured in Belgium, though sourcing can vary depending on the specific product line. Upfield remains the ultimate owner, focusing on plant-based and hybrid dairy-alternative solutions.
